Hello, I own a Mercedes-Benz E240 W211 from 2003. I have a problem with the instrument cluster: everything lights up except for the fuel meter. The gauge works perfectly fine, but there is a meter next to it that lets me know how much fuel I have in the tank—like whether it's a quarter or half full. The gauge itself works, so I was wondering how to fix that.

This will be a problem with the cluster itself. You will need to remove the cluster and send it in to be rebuilt. Here is how. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.

Good question, it might have a light behind the LCD screen but if not the cluster will need to be rebuilt.
